Anyone else do this with bills or change when paying for something?

[calveless wonder]

I don't know why i do this or have always done this, but today a cashier said something about it and i looked at him like he was stupid (even though most clerks are often to stupid to figure out what im doing. they just never say anything)

whenever i pay for something cash, assuming i don't have exact change, i'll try to get an even amount or bigger bill. change consolidation i suppose

i.e. something is 13.05, but i don't have a ten and 3 singles. i'll give 23.05 so i get rid of 1's and get a 10 back. instead of just giving 20.05

i hate cluttered bills or change.

i'll do the same thing if i have a bunch of pennies and something is say xx.78. I'll give 3 pennies and whatever dollar amount so i get a quarter back and get rid of the pennies.

i know i'm not the only one who does this.

I do that all the time and sometimes cashiers look at me confused. Just do your job and give me the change I want, lady.

I'm with you, I always do this and you're right, more times than not I get the, "What change am I supposed to give back now" look from the cashier.

I always do that as well.

I worked in a convenience store for many years in college so I make change in my head very quickly. No one ever short changes me.

Of course, who wants a load of change in their wallet?
It is so sad that most cashiers can't do basic arithmetic in their head to make change. I help them if they are struggling.

I do this too. One thing I fucking hate is if I get a half dollar back with change. I always hand it back and ask for 2 quarters and the dickhead looks at me like I'm an asshole.

the dickhead looks at me like I'm an asshole.

Is that not normal?
